The question of whether policy decisions should be made by judges or by legislators is pretty much settled, at least as far as conservative jurisprudence is concerned. But as a convert to the pro-life cause of relatively recent vintage — over the past decade or so — I want to offer a different perspective on the sociology of abortion politics. Judge Bork is quite right that abortion would be a “less explosive” issue if it were turned over to the legislatures; but we should be careful what we wish for.
